House Painting: Weather Resistant Paint is Crucial
- Call your Professional House Painter | (480) 232-5474
A house painter has to know what types of paint can be used in his area. Paint that is designed for colder and wetter climates may not work as well in Arizona. Why? Well, for one thing, Arizona has extremely hot and dry weather from April until late June, and hot and humid weather from July through September. In the winter months, though obviously a lot rarer than back east, we can also have hard freezes here in the desert. If you get the wrong paint for your home, it could look wonderful, for about 2-3 years, then it can start to flake off because the heat is baking all the moisture out of the oils and resins. And it isn't just the paint, it's a combination of factors.
First off there is sheen. If you're painting the outside of your home, gloss paint and semi-gloss work best. Why? Well it makes sense if you think about it. Both gloss paint and semi-gloss paint help to reflect the sunlight, which helps to prevent damage to the paint. Another reason you want a nice gloss finish on your exterior paint is that it is much easier to clean than matte finish paint or flat finishes. When in doubt, ask a professional house painter.

Why Should You Get a Professional House Painter
Why should you get a professional house painter? Experience as well as being licensed are the key reasons. A professional house painter has to be registered at the Registrar of Contractors. Why does this matter so much? Well, to be a registered contractor, a painter has to pass an exam and pay license fees. While it is often tempting to save money by just hiring someone that "works for cheap," you also get what you pay for, and sometimes when you try to save money in the short, you end up paying more later on. Why? Because if you get a shoddy job, the painter is going to have more to do, which translates to a higher price tag for service.
So remember, make the right choices. Get an idea of what you can for paint jobs in your neighborhood, particularly if you have an HOA. And hire a professional painter to help.
